The interview process moves quickly during the Boston Career Forum. Being prepared what to expect will be
key!
The campus seminar will cover what to prepare beforehand, the flow of the day, and how participants did in
the past. Because the seminars are held in-person, you can exchange information and network with other
students as well as ask questions directly to CFN staff.
Even if you are freshmen or sophomores, you will definitely gain information that will help you in the
years ahead.
